Added 128 CBR settings.
It would be useful, if somebody would give recommandations which one should be preferred with actual Lame. Perhaps somebody may post an order of quality of that 128 CBR settings.
If decisions are not clear until now, then there is no need to post an order.

Hi,

thanks.
Added current date at top.
If somebody knows settings for streaming audio, eg. 56k's, 28.8's, etc, you may post, please.
Other settings, too.
There are at the moment so many 128 CBR settings above.
Can some of the experts tell us, which one or two are the actual ? Then me or a moderator could edit that line in the first post.

Hi,
not really !
As you see, i have written who has posted, eg. Wombat, SNYder !

It's just, because I started that thread at r3mix, but I think it's useful anywhere. Let's see, how threads are developing. Since now, I do not copy the posts. I did it just to show the start of this thread and how it works. Eg. Wombat told a bookmark to a thread where 128 CBR settings have been discussed. So me or a moderator adds at first post the useful settings and so on.

Ummm user, i don't think this reposting is the way to do it... :eyebrow:

Just update your original post and keep it up-to-date, but this "mirroring" of the whole r3mix.net discussion... i don't know. It would be better if you just quoted the other guys and said "setting xy changed, suggested by xy, see thread xy" or the like. It's just a suggestion... but think it through

Hi,
done.
Please somebody should read over the settings, if they are allright and the best ones available with current Lame 3.90 alpha 8.

What's the matter with some short forms, like --preset-dm metal ?
If some of the settings in first post could be (partially) replaced by short forms, then post them please.
For EAC eg. it is very useful not to have long command lines.

As you see, after a short time we all have collected a lot useful stuff.

I'd like someone to try "--nsmsfix 1.2" with the 192-CBR commandline. I think a full joint-stereo setting at that bitrate may allow m/s artifacts. The nsmsfix setting may help reduce some m/s artifacts by allowing more L/R frames. Try it and see. Either that, or I'd recommend --nssafejoint at 192-CBR. I suppose it comes down to a quality vs artifact preference. Both give benefits and drawbacks at that strict setting. I believe it's this point where the --nsmsfix setting can help improve things if set properly.

Hmmm.. i was a bit reluctant to add this.. but you're right, it's even higher quality, due to the lower ATH curve. In fact, "--dm-preset standard --athtype 2 -X3" will become the new "--dm-preset xtreme" when Dibrom finished his modifications. Also, this list will be modified when he incorporates those changes.

I will have to add this as "Very High Quality +" for now... people seem to be disinclined to use such a setting, but for completeness's sake, i'll add it.

No. This has been explained before, but basically using --scale in LAME is much more accurate than normalizing with a program like EAC. Theoretical possible loss in quality would also be present on a normalized file. Athadjust attempts to compensate for most of this but apparently it is not always entirely effective. All of this --scale stuff only really seems to be a problem with vbr anyway, since depending on masking calculations and such (which volume can affect), it will use different bitrates... cbr and abr will use the same no matter what.
